ACKn	Acknowledge — The printer pulses this line low after it accepts a byte of data and is ready for
	more data.
BUSY	Busy — The printer sets this line high when it cannot receive data due to data entry, a full
	buffer, or error status.
FAULTn	Fault — The printer sets this line low if it reaches an error state.
IPn	Input Prime — This line pulses low to reset the printer and clear the print buffer.
PA0 - PA7	Printer Data Bus —This is the 8-bit parallel data bus. These lines transmit a byte of data to the
	printer.
PE	Paper Error — The printer sets this line high when it is out of paper.
SELECT	Selected — The printer sets this line high to indicate that it has been selected.
STROBEn	Strobe — This line pulses low when a byte of data is ready. A low pulse on this line clocks the
	data into the printer.
